Summer, 2008: <a href="/name/nm0564587?ref_=tt_stry_pl">John McCain</a> secures the nomination, but polls behind <a href="/name/nm1682433?ref_=tt_stry_pl">Barack Obama</a>. Strategist <a href="/name/nm3698071?ref_=tt_stry_pl">Steve Schmidt</a> suggests a game changer: picking a conservative female with media savvy, unknown Alaska governor <a href="/name/nm3126606?ref_=tt_stry_pl">Sarah Palin</a>, as vice president. She&#39s an immediate hit and a quick study - the gap closes. Then, Tina Fey&#39s impersonation, a raft of criticism, and missing her family send Palin into a near-catatonic state: she doesn&#39t prepare for her <a href="/name/nm0183698?ref_=tt_stry_pl">Katie Couric</a> interview and bombs. Schmidt searches for an answer: don&#39t expect her to learn the issues, but give her a script. Palin does well in the debate with Biden; she finds her voice, goes off script, and goes rogue. A mistake?

In 1972, a scale of measurement was established for alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. Modern-day, Alaska, where-mysteriously since the 1960s-a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year. Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered.
